4A character who is possibly a BigEater will most often come across a large amount of food at a buffet or maybe even a restaurant. What does he do? He will immediately dig into the food that lies in front of him. What follows after that is a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin montage]] showing the character stuffing himself with food.

6This is a type of montage where a gluttonous character will engorge on a mass variety of food through a series of stills and vignettes.

19* In ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}} and the Chieftain's Shield'', Chief Vitalstatistix has liver problems, so Getafix sends him to a health spa to lose weight. Since the trip takes several days, we get a montage of him stuffing himself at every inn on the way, while making justifying comments like, "Everyone knows cheese is an aid to digestion." By the time they arrive, he's in such pain Obelix has to carry him.
20* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': Volstagg of the Warriors Three got this the first time he encountered a wonder of wonders in the mortal world: an all-you-can-eat buffet. It ended with an empty buffet table and Volstagg praising it as an excellent snack for between meals.
21* In ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyLegendsOfMagic'', Rockhoof stuffs himself silly on an entire page. He literally eats his way out of a pit of corn in one panel. Even some of the other villagers get in on the act.

48* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheFoolAndTheFlyingShip A stop-motion animation adaptation]]'' of the Russian folktale "[[Literature/TheFoolOfTheWorldAndTheFlyingShip The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship]]" provides the quote above, just before the Forester's Wife [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guF_6kufow8 eats everything at the table.]]
49* Squidward became involved in one of these with Krabby Patties in the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "Just One Bite".
50* Garfield also had one of these in a DreamSequence in the ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' episode "Nighty Nightmare", as well as in other episodes including "Fit For A King" and "Forget Me Not".
51* Likewise, this also happened to Numbuh Two in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' in two episodes, "Operation: N.O.-P.O.W.U.H." and "Operation: F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E."
52* In Disney's first ''[[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh]]'' short, the book turns page after page of Pooh stuffing himself.
53* Shaggy and WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo also had these in numerous episodes in most incarnations, due to their BigEater status.
54* Subverted in Tex Avery's 1936 ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]]'' short "WesternAnimation/PageMissGlory." During Abner the Bellhop's ImagineSpot at a ritzy hotel, an obese man demands food, so four waiters hurriedly pile his table with comestibles. He takes a bit out of half an olive and leaves.
55* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
56** Friz Freleng's "WesternAnimation/{{Pigs Is Pigs|1937}}" has a little boy piglet glomping everyone else's food in the family so he is sent to bed as punishment.

He explodes after taking one last bite out of a morsel, and then he wakes up from his dream.
57** In "WesternAnimation/HolidayForDrumsticks", a hillbilly buys a turkey and gives him a banquet of food to fatten him up for Thanksgiving -- fellow barnyard fowl Daffy warns him off it and puts him on a vigorous exercise regimen while he stuffs himself. By Thanksgiving the turkey is slim while Daffy has become obese and is picked by the farmer for Thanksgiving dinner.
58* The second act of the ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus'' episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E2ClassClownBogus Class Clown Bogus]]" showed Bogus taking the opportunity to help himself to the food that is being served in the cafeteria.
59* ''Westernanimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzZfONg8t0Q had one]] that between the first-person perspective and techno music, is a clear homage to Music/TheProdigy's "Smack My Bitch Up".
60* The ''WesternAnimation/LittleAudrey'' short, "Butterscotch and Soda" has the title character in [[LevelAte a land made of candy]] and starts collecting and eating as much of it as she can, before getting a stomach-ache and being chased by the inhabitants.
